[ prp ] Howls in the Dark (Sleepy Time & Unflinching)

Post by rexcorvus »

He was not sleeping, but he might as well have been.

Sleepy Time - or, as he was known in this bizarre place, Somnus, was crouched down beside a large and imposing oak tree, arms wrapped around his knees. There was a comically enormous piece of fur wrapped around his shoulders and upper torso, nearly burying him so that he looked almost headless from behind, only a crop of pale hair sprouting above. Beside him, a large white wolf was nosing in the ground, clearly looking for scraps to eat.

Somnus pulled the furs tighter around him. His teeth ached, and he could smell the soil that his wolf - Petra, though sometimes he just called her sweetheart - was sniffing around in a little too clearly for his liking. They were both on the edge of the city, huddled together with a bundle of wrapped meat intended for the market, but they had yet to actually go in.

It was loud. It was cold. Somnus would have preferred to stay in the woods, would have been quite content to curl up with Petra and fall asleep under the stars, letting the wildness of the trees and the taste of the snow be the last things he thought of before he fell asleep. But he was hungry, and Petra was antsy, and so he had come back, creeping through the shadows without a sound.

His stomach growled. The meat was deer, not one that Somnus preferred to eat, and he hoped that he could swap it for something else, barter with a Crafter for something a little less...smelly. Petra had already eaten, and disliked his penchant for softer, more tender foods but since he put up with eating rabbit for her, she could put up with some potatoes and cheese.

Or maybe a tart. Something with fruit.

Neesa enjoyed the markets, she found them freeing, unpredictable. She could be who she wanted, act as she wanted, without the weight of familial responsibility weighing her down. And here? Well, it was quite the lovely escape, with its crisp air and colorful night sky.

Breath clouding softly, Nessa pulled the fur-lined cloak she was wearing a little more tightly around herself, dark hair framing dark skin and delicate features. She was a short woman, petite in build, but what she would dare anyone to call her fragile, willing to prove her strength when needed.

The market had yet to fill with patreons, so she walked through the booths and tables relatively unhindered, taking her time looking over the various wears. As of yet, nothing of interest has caught her eye.
